September 28

I'm not sure why, but Abby decided she wanted to make some (and I'm using her words here) "autumnal gingerbread" this afternoon. So I asked my mom to send her our recipe, she complied, and my girl is whipping up a batch right now as we watch "The Fate of the Furious."

So we're watching a movie, Abby is baking something, and it's just... comfortable. I guess you could call it our current iteration of a typical Saturday night for us. Given how much of my life in recent years has been marked by difficulty and challenge, right now I'm just grateful to feel calm.
